As recorded by Jimmy Cliff (From the 1969 Album JIMMY CLIFF) [Intro] B F# A G E [Verse 1]
E
As I walk along the street each day

              A
These are the words I hear some people say

       F#
Many a girl never dig a guy

  E
Until he is riding high

E
If today you're up on top

      A
And tomorrow you're right down flat

     F#
Everybody seems to turn their back
[Pre-Chorus]
       B          A
You're all alone, on your own

    G#m             F#m
Without no home, no place to roam

E         B
Hey, hey, hey

A         B
Hey, hey, hey
[Chorus]
B
That's the way life goes

  E
Tomorrow, one never knows

B                          E
That's the way life goes today

E
Don't you know?

B
That's the way life goes

  E
Tomorrow, one never knows

B                          E
That's the way life goes today
[Interlude] B F# A G E [Verse 2]
E
Now, another fella told me that

        A
And I believe this for a fact

       F#
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

     E
They make you feel you're left out

E
If you get back on your feet again

          A
Then everybody wants to be your friend

        F#
Telling you on them you can depend
[Pre-Chorus]
    B                  A
Now you're a king, got everything

G#m                F#
Joy bells ring and you can sing

E         B
Hey, hey, hey

A         B
Hey, hey, hey
[Chorus]
B
That's the way life goes

  E
Tomorrow, one never knows

B                          E
That's the way life goes today

E
Don't you know?

B
That's the way life goes

  E
Tomorrow, one never knows

B                          E
That's the way life goes today
[Outro]
E
Hey, don't you know?

B
That's the way life goes

  E
Tomorrow, one never knows

B                          E
That's the way life goes today

E
Hey, don't you know?

B
That's the way life goes

  E
Tomorrow, one never knows

B                          E
That's the way life goes today
